2009 Map of Bellefont

About this map

Windhorst and the nearby Holy Cross Cemetery anchor the eastern side of this Kansas prairie landscape, reflecting the rural settlement patterns of Ford County in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by a series of subtle drainages, including White Woman Creek in the northwest, Little Coon Creek in the center, and the meandering path of Cow Creek which dominates the southern half of the quadrangle. Transport infrastructure is characterized by a precise grid of local roads like Foothill Rd and Kettle Rd, alongside more specialized landmarks such as the Knoeber Landing Strip. In the north, the small community of Bellefont sits along a primary road corridor, illustrating the continued importance of these high-plains crossroads. The layout of these agricultural roads and watercourses provides a clear view of the organized land use and hydrology typical of the region.
